    I had an excellent condition 1-slot Neo Geo MVS, 8 carts including 1 brand-new complete kit, Neo Geo CD Controller and a home-made (but professional looking) supergun unit. Sold the whole lot on eBay for just £200. The carts: Metal Slug 1,2,X, King of Fighters 2000, 2003 (With flyers), Puzzle Bobble, Fatal Fury 3 (all in excellent condition with complete labels) The complete kit was SvC Chaos, i can't find that for under £200 these days!

    Also, the guy sold my supergun for £200 on it's own shortly afterwards! It only cost me about £30 to make!

    I now have a 4-Slot with just 2 carts (Metal Slug full kit and the Yellow 170+ Cart), 1 NGCD controller & Mk5 Supergun - it's awesome just not the same - I miss my old one :(

    My dreamcast. :dejection:

    And what i believe to be a beta copy of Simcity 3000. (Had many buildings i never ever seen before right out of box, and was on a weird white disk with a single "Simcity 3000 D" logo on it).
    Im pretty sure it was a beta copy i somehow got. Wish i made a copy of it.

    I regret selling my entire anime trading card collection. No not Pokemon and Yugioh cards, actual anime collector cards from various anime series and movies. My favorite set was my Valkyria Chronicles set. Cost me $100 a box, my first box I bought I got every card I needed for the base set except for one freaking card lol, had to spend another $100 for another box, ended up with 3 sets and a rare 1/100 collector card though, so it wasn't so bad.

    I never really get rid of games that often, sorta regret getting rid of my GameCube, but seemed sensible at the time due to the Wii being backwards compatible. Regret getting rid of Mario Sunshine with it, that was dumb.

    only other game I can think of that I ever got rid of, was Desert Strike for the Mega Drive, sorta regret it, but didn't enjoy it when I was a kid, not sure if I would like it or not now because I can barely remember it.

    Something I didn't get rid of but was forced to send to my grandparent's house when I was really young was my Amstrad CPC464 and then my nana got rid of it with all its games, gutted...

    I regret selling my collection of N64 games way back in the day, as they would now be worth much more than the pittance I got back when the N64 was still going strong.

    Things that I regret I sold are approximately everything I ever sold. However, my biggest regrets are the games my brother stole from me to trade in at Gamestop. I often wish I still had Fire Emblem Path of Radiance. And I wish he didn't sell my copy of Super Mario RPG. It's one of my favorite games ever.

    Ouch, i felt that :concern:

    I regret selling off all of my Mega Drive games when i was younger. Needed to raise funds for something, i can't remember what; but whatever it was has not lasted me till this day, hence i wished i'd kept the damn games...

    I guess my GC component cable would be one. Figured when the Wii came out I'd use that with component for all my GC games. I do that in the lounge but I also have a GC set up in my bedroom and it looks like shit through composite.

    Also regret selling my N64 copier. Bought it cheap to play romhacks then sold it when I needed a few hundred dollars.

    I regret selling my PS1, multitap, 4 dualshock controllers, 20 or so games including Crash bandicoot 1,2,3 and CTR, and a bunch of other great games for 40 bucks when I was trying to save up for a ps2 as a kid. I also regret selling a CIB original gameboy for $10 in a garage sale in the late 90s. Lust for money as a child will make you do very stupid things.

    Main regret would be binning off a massive collection of [mainly] videogame magazines, ranging all the way back to the Sinclair Spectrum days! ... It's costing a small fortune to replace some of the more cherished issues!

    I'm a hoarder and I haven't really sold anything!

    The only thing that I have sold and lived on to kick myself for was Pokemon Blue for the gameboy. Impulse sell for $10 in Grade 7 so I could buy hot chips for lunch. I know you could probably pick it up for $3 at a second hand shop but nothing will ever replace that one cartridge that I played on every car trip I ever had.

    I didn't sell any of it but I now regret giving my cousin around $200 worth of Sega CD games and cartridges, model 1 Sega Genesis, PS1 games, and a PSOne. Stuff wouldn't sell here so...

    I used to have a white Sega Saturn + VCD card, which actually played KVCDs as well.

    Amongst other Saturn related items I had Metal Slug (with 1MB RAM Cart, Sreet FIghter Zero 3 (with 4MB RAM cart), The Nights + Controller pack and Christmas Nights. I also had an action replay ram cart that allowed you to play imports.

    Great collection, shame that I got rid of it, I also had a Core Grafix with the "memory bank" thing that slot on the back? That also had RGB output...

    Not really sold but when we moved somebody thought it would be a good idea to throw away 2 mint SNES' with 4 controllers and 25 games because they were 'old' and we would never play on them again.

    Similarly, I remember when I was around 6 or 7 pleading with my mom not to throw out all the boxes for my NES carts. We had like 30 games so the boxes took up a good amount of space in the hallway closet.

    I still have the manuals for them, I think, but it would have been really nice to have all my NES games CIB especially considering that I have a few unlicensed titles.

    Besides that, I have sold maybe 5 games in my life. I have a difficult time getting rid of things that gave me great memories.

    Oh, and I lost my Dreamcast console, VGA box, and a few games in Hurricane Katrina, but I've since bought all that back with the exception of my first edition copy of Feet of Fury signed by Dan Potter.

    A very silly young man sold his Master System 2 to buy a brand new Meagdrive in 1992.... he sold his copy of Golden Axe Warrior with it. It didnt seem so bad until i started looking into what the game is worth these days.

    I regret selling my launch day Nintendo 64. Now I do have an overclocked RGB modded one.
    I regret selling my original gray not orange NES Zapper when I sold my NES toaster once I got my hands on a Twin Famicom.
    I regret selling my Gamecube with the component video cable when I got my Wii. I've since replaced both, the cable at great expense.
    Most of all I regret selling Suikoden and Suikoden II. I've replaced both, again at great expense.

    Now I sell nothing.
